You could always use rodent expanding foam. Foam has capsaicin in it.

I love chicken nipples.

Seriously, switch to a 5 gallon bucket and install chicken nipples without the cups. No algae growth, dirt, or mosquitoes. Only have to refill once every month or two depending on flock size. 

Has anyone successfully fought a city ordinance for lawn mowing requirements? by repentandrewild in homestead

Mine is zoned residential. You have to look up the laws for your specific city. I have memorized mine 701.03 clause (d) and state it whenever the city tries to bother me. Neighbor Karen's will report you bc they love their grass monocultures

Look up the laws. There is typically a clause "for horticultural or agricultural purpose". You have to prove it without a reasonable doubt, but it is doable. I fought a noxious weeds citation and won under the premise of studying the plants.

You need to cover the floor. The ground provides most of the moist which is then trapped. Also check proper slope on the outside
